GRR: NCR
Independents Red wrestled back the NCR All-Star title a year after losing it to the Midwest.
This is the third year out of four that the New England Independents have won this tournament.
The Midwest looked very strong after sweeping through Pool Play on Saturday and torching the Mid-Atlantic 52-0 in the quarterfinals.
The Midwest-area teams are at the top of the heap after Day One of the NCR Men's All-Star tournament in Atlanta.
It has been a few years of battling for Wayne State to get their D3/Small College NCR title.
Three straight years of heartbreak had to hurt.
Paced by an impressive weekend by Don Holmes, IUP won its second straight NCR D2 championship, beating Northern Iowa in an entertaining and close-run final 38-29 Sunday.
A dominant scrum, some tenacious defense, and smart game management saw Brown edge Queens 23-20 Saturday night to win NCR's D1 championship.
This is Brown's 2nd title in three years, and Queens will have to settle for two runner-up finishes in the same period.
